many of its students are fitting themselves

ROBERT BONNER.
THE VETERAN PUBLISHER OF THE
NEW YORK LEDGER.

His Retirement from Active Life-IIow
He Began His Career as IA Printer,
Bought IA Commercial Paper, Changed It
to story Paper and Became Wealthy.
Robert Bonner is no longer editor of The
New York Ledger. He has made plenty of
money, has wcaried of the grind of the
editors life and now purposes to pay atten-
ton to his horses, his real estate and certain
other little matters in which he is interested.
Among other things he says he intends to
find out about is the art of being u man of
leisure. But he has three SONS who will now
conduct the paper and he will advise them
whenever they want his Judgment. And he
will retain desk room at The Ledger office.
He may not find out much about being
a man of leisure under the present
arrangement, but he thinks he will, and he
is entitled to it if any one is.
Robert Bonner is in his 9th year He is a
North of Ireland man, and was born near
Londonderry. He came to America at an
early age and learned the printers trade;
worked first on The Hartford Courant, then
on The New York Evening Mercury and then
took up The Merchants Ledger on his own
hook. As the name of the paper indicated,
at tho time Mr.. Bonner took it it was a COM
mcrCial publication in the main and it had
weekly circulation Of 900 or 5000. But Mr..
Bonner had something more entertaining
than market quotations in his mind for his
paper. When lie was a printer on Tho Mcr-
curry n. p Willis and George p. Morris were

may be that it
was from t hem
that he caught the
literary idea. At
all events it was a
literary paper that
he decided to run
a paper, how

not be above the
reading masses, for
it was from them
that be designed to

Special Correspondence Of he Register:
NEW CUMBERLAND, April 21.-A large
number of country teams are again en-
gagged in hauling gas pipe from the landing
and distributing them along the line from
the Miller we'll to this place. The line
comes into town near the upper ferry.
Ditching is being prosecuted vigorously,
and the line will be completed to this
place in n short time, the company having
contracted with the various works to fun
nish them by a certain time.
The Town Council last night granted
the right of way through town to the
Branch Railroad, also TO the Ohio Valley
Gas Company. A representative of the
railroad company was present and stated
they had secured the right of way, with
one or two exceptions, from the Cove to
the corporation line. A force of men are
grading south of Kings Creek.
VIM. Mcdonald, an old citizen of this
place, died on Monday night. After the
funeral services this afternoon the remains
will he taken to Cincinnati for interment,
where he formerly resided.
The Presbyterian congregation will com
mence work on their new church in a short
time. During the time OF building they
will occupy the Court room.

THE FILING OF CHARGES

by any one who might desire to do so.
Charges were fled and Immediately copy
thereof was made aud delivered to DR..
Bland, and he was informed by me that
reasonable time would be given him to
prepare his defence.
On Tueday morning, February Sth, DR..
Holt, who filed said charges, informed the
committee that he desired us to examine
Dr. ManOwn that night, because he was
going to leave the next morning, he having
been summoned by telegram to the bed
side of very sick brother. As Chairman
of the committee, | promptly informed
DIR. Holt that we would not examine Dr.
Manown that night, without the consent
Of DIR. Bland, because he (Dr Blandl had
only that afternoon been furnished with a
copy of the charges preferred against him.
| sent Tor DIR. Bland, however, and inform
ed him Of DIR. Hollis request, and told him
that as he had only shortly been furnished
witha copy of the charges the committee
would not examine the witness that night
unles with has free and fdH consent DIR.
Dland at once replied that he was ready
and perfectly willing to proceed with the
examination of the witnesses. and treated
the charges preferred against him, ]
thought, with indifference. l make this
statement merely to show how careful the
committee was not to trench upon any
right Of DR.. BANDS, and how utterly I'M
warranted and unfounded the charge OF
the Board is that the committee proceeded
without notice before commencing" DR..
ManOwn was examined that night, aud
DR.. Bland undertook the examination Of
the witness himself. thought he did it so
badly that next morning suggested to his
son and one or two OF his friends the pro-
priety and Importance Of his securing
counsel. The committee examined no
other witness for day afterwards. DIR.
Bland was then represented by Mr..
Brannon, Of the Weston bar.

witness against his client to a skilful and
rigid eroSs-examination. feel very safe
in saying that Mr.. Braunon will not saw

time he asked to reply TO the implica-
ting testimony" OF that any Of his rights
or privileges were entailed in the slightest
degree. The COMMITTEES carefully
heard and impartially considered ali

tairly closed his case without the slightest

have not the slightest feeling Of personal
malice In the matter, on the contrary feel
really sorry for him. / do. however, feel an
interest in the proper conduct Of the Hos
pital and the future success Of the Demo
cratic party. The Hospital Cor the Insane
is undoubtedly the most important insti-
tuition in the State. It takes somewhere
near one-forth of the revenues Of the
State 10 support it, Tie Superintendent
should possess the unquestioned confidence
Of people Of all shades of political thought,
Its government should be perfectly free
from political or partisan consideration
II there be one place in the State where all
such matter should be scrupulously ex-
cluded that place is the Hospital for the
Insane.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
will be held responsible for the acts of
Governor Wilson'S administration. Ii
DIR. Bland is retained in his present posi-
tion, in the face of the testimony taken
before the committee, it will be with the
eonnivance or through the instrumental
ty of Governor Wilson, therefore
the people will hold the
Democratic party responsible therefore.
Governor Wilson in framing HE proclama-
tiOn-whether it was intentional or not, it
is not for me to eonjecture-carefully ex-
cluded from it any mention of the matters
IN h.. IaNn ~ a.
Hospital. Since the names of the gentle
men he has appointed on the new Board
have been made public / am afraid that
people will conclude he excluded this sub
ject from his proclamation in the interest
of DIR. Bland. The State has incurred con-
siderable expense in taking the testimony
that will be submitted to the Legis' pture,
and Iinsist that that evidence ought TO be
carefully examined and considered by the
members of the Senate before confirming
those members of the old Board of Direc-
tors who have been named by Governor
Wilson on the new Board. If said APP
pOintments are confirmed the Senate will
virtually decide that the committee SUBJ
mitted an unfounded and unwarranted re-
port and that DR.. Bland, &c, are blame
less because majority of the new Board
said so before the Governor appointed
them, and the Democratic party will be
compelled TO assume the responsibility of
defending this action before the people of
the State. Can it afford to do so? Before
answering in the affirmative respectfully
advise the Democratic Senators to carefully
examine and consider the testimony which
the Legislature required the committee to
take and return to it.
Respectfully, &C.,
JOSEPH SPRIGG.
